Saw this little guy on CL and after some thinking I said what the heck. I need a project between contracts.....So off I went.
 
This is one stout little guy. Yet simple to move by hand. Some of the features I liked...the size, it has a 3'x5' bed. Enough to hold some storage bins, paddle, pedals, etc. The arm is removable so you can slide it out and store it in a normal garage. It also has full size tires on leaf springs so hauling over rough roads and long distances isn't an issue. On the minus side. It needed wiring and lights, a new hitch (2" ball). The fenders needed some bending and trimming, and 'da racks for the 'da yaks. Plus it all needed a coat of paint. It was a "farm" green. Just kinda yuck.

As you can see its all done. I just need a tire for the spare and some final pimps (bottle opener and NCKA sticker). I will snap some additional pics when I load up the yaks.

Oh and its for sale if anyone is looking for a turn key yak hauler for GS5 and/or Albion. You also can remove the racks and have a normal trailer in case you need to resupply your army as they invade!

Thx Al...Seeing the trailer that you got from Morgan motivated me.

FF....yeah she's a little tank. the removable arm helps a ton

F&B...I know I almost don't want to sell...but I got an idea for a master trailer. I just need to find the right platform!

Shoulda gone with Navy blue, or battleship grey instead of Army Olive Drab.  Nice work, son!
